Abstract
Reads like a delirious dispatch from the edge where news, prophecy, parody, and insurgent desire all collapse into one another. It mimics the form of a newspaper only to sabotage its authority at every turn: “This is a political newspaper / This is not a political newspaper / This newspaper is your fantasy.” In that refusal, it announces a Digger understanding of politics not as platform or party, but as lived transformation—personal, collective, theatrical, and immediate. The piece moves restlessly from world revolution to Panhandle street scenes, from the ghost of Malcolm X to the coming “Free City,” from the Exorcism of the Pentagon to the Death of the Hippie and Birth of the Free Man. Its real subject is the dissolution of private property in every sense—material, sexual, spiritual, even artistic—and the emergence of a participatory social world in which ordinary life itself becomes liberated performance.

This is a political newspaper

This is not a political newspaper

This newspaper is your fantasy

Long-hairs mob Romney in Panhandle. Who is the leader?

Statement of revolution by prominent Cuban: "We don't talk very much of Marxism anymore. Our goal is a free society, a genuine democracy in which all the people are intergrated through their own constant, active participation in the continuing struggle required for a man to feel free and be free. To achieve the basis of that kind of society, man must first defeat his exploiter. To do so, in view of the reality that the exploiter is always richer, stronger, bigger, each man must particularize the struggle into his personal life and generalize his personal commitment, if he can, he can defeat any exploiter whose motivation is greed and possession. That is why the Vietnamese cannot be defeated by the armed technological might of the United States. Each Vietnamese fights for his revolution. His own and all of theirs together. He fights for himself, for his country, and for his vision of a just world. That combination is undefeatable. We, too, in the Americas, are gaining such a combination."

How to make a fire bomb: Fill a glass bottle about one-fifth to one-fourth full with sulphuric acid. Fill the remainder with gasoline, kerosene, or a combination of both. Add water to potassium chlorate and sugar mix, and soak rags in the mix. Wrap the rags around the bottle, tie in place, and allow to dry. When thrown the bottle will break, the acid will ignite the chlorate sugar saturated rags, which in turn will ignite the fuel. Caution!! Improvised explosives are much more dangerous to handle than conventional explosives. Such mixtures as above can be ignited or detonate by a single spark, excessive heat, or merely by friction generated by stirring or mixing ingredients together. Danger in handling these items cannot be overemphasized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
